Basically it looks like we will need a way to update the
gitosis-admin repository from the web interface. Doing the push will
run the hooks to update the access rights.

Other alternative, create a clone of gitosis with a database backend.
But that would require quite some work (and quite some security
checks too).

I think the problem can be solved with a local checkout of the
gitosis-admin repository on the server.

Note: We need to allow users to provide their public SSH key.

Ok, I did some tests and found that basically, we cannot do live
changes on the git repositories because we need to do them with the
`git` user. 

So, the way to go is to create objects in the queue when we perform
operations and then let a cron job running under the `git` id,
perform the update of the gitosis-admin checkout and push the updated
version. 

We already have the queue system in Pluf:
http://projects.ceondo.com/p/pluf/source/tree/master/src/Pluf/Queue.p
hp
so, it is rather easy to create the plugin that will simply push the
changes in the queue, the real work will be the cron job that will
perform the changes.

Again, again, I spent a while looking at the gitosis internals, the
code is really nice. What is even nicer, is that it will be rather
easy to use it as a basis to directly hook into the indefero database
for identification.

I will work on that starting 15th of December, as this week I have
family at home.
